OFFICE & WORKPLACE
To define focused working spaces, the deeper green tones of Oasis from the same collection were used, providing contrast while maintaining harmony with the overall design.
“When it came to the main desk-working areas, we went for the aptly named Human Connections carpet tiles in the colour Granite. The collection is inspired by the organic patterns of stone and rock and can really help to promote a sense of calm.”
Both Icebreaker and Human Connections are made using 100% recycled yarn and backed with CQuest Bio, a carbon-negative carpet tile backing – features that immediately reduced carbon emissions on the project.
DESIGNED FOR DURABILITY
High-traffic areas in the Inizio office, such as tea points, corridors and reception areas, required materials that would withstand daily footfall while maintaining their appearance over time.
To meet these demands, the Concept Design Team specified luxury vinyl tiles (LVT) from Interface’s Walk on By range. Engineered for resilience, the collection features a Ceramor ceramic bead coating which protects tiles from everyday scratching and scuffing, ensuring long-term performance. As with all Interface LVT, the product comes with a Sound Choice acoustic backing which reduces impact noise – an important consideration for a busy office environment.
Beyond its practical benefits, Walk on By introduced vibrant, energetic patterns to the tea point areas, fostering a sense of community and encouraging employees to recharge. “These playful design elements contrast with the neutral tones used elsewhere in the office, bringing warmth and personality, while also being manufactured with a high percentage of recycled content.”
SUPPORTING MODERN WORKSTYLES
As hybrid work continues to shape modern office life, Inizio’s new space was carefully designed to accommodate evolving workstyles. Through workshops with the team, Blueprint Interiors gained an in-depth understanding of the company’s culture and vision for the future, ensuring that each material specified contributed to bringing this to life.
The refreshed office now features a mix of workspaces suited to different tasks, including hot-desking areas that encourage interaction and collaboration across departments, private spaces for focused work and confidential conversations, a state-of-the- art control room to support hybrid and virtual events, and an inviting reception and workplace cafe area, named the Market Square to serve as a social hub for employees and clients alike.
Interface played a key role in shaping these spaces, providing flooring solutions that aided wayfinding and created distinct zones, while enhancing both functionality and aesthetic appeal. Through the strategic use of carpet tiles and LVT, the design team was able to balance the practical needs of hybrid work with a cohesive and visually engaging layout.
A LASTING IMPACT
Reflecting on the fit-out project, Jed Salmon, project designer at Blueprint Interiors, said: “The finished workspace is something Inizio can truly be proud of. It’s been meticulously curated to embody Inizio’s values of sustainability, wellbeing and innovation, and we couldn’t be happier with it. By partnering with Interface’s Concept Design Team, we’ve successfully delivered a destination workspace that caters perfectly to needs of Inizio’s employees and will support the company’s future ambitions, too.”
